NVG510 and Static IP Block

[dwschoon]

I'm the IT guy for a business, and we just got AT&T Uverse as a backup to our faster cable service, as well as a block of 5 static ip addresses.  On the phone, I was told that we could just get a modem, as we already have a dual wan router.  When the guy installed it, he put in a NVG510 and said he had nothing in his paperwork about a modem only.  I have spent all day trying to figure out how to pass traffic through the NVG510 to devices behind it with static IP's assigned.  Ive been able to access the internet from the inside, but no traffic will come in. Is this even possible with this device?  I've read elsewhere about sending all traffice to one device behind the NVG510, but that wont work for me as I need to have 5 IP's accessible from the public net.

U-Verse is not going to work for you. AT&T does not provide gateway devices that will allow you to have static IPs behind your own router.

You can get static IPs that connect directly to AT&T's gateway device, or you can route behind your own router using a single IP, but you can't do both.

I'm not trying to assign public IPs behind my router. I need my router and a couple devices outside my router to have public IPs. I've been able to do that, but I need to be able to access them from the public network, and I can't get the gateway to allow this. It seems reasonable for my public IPs to be accessible without being filtered via NAT.

OK, if you assign public IPs directly behind the NVG510 they should be accessible from the Internet as long as the NVG510 is configured correctly.
